- “Barrels are king” is the principle of selecting wooden casks.
For the distillery, the strict policy of selecting wood to complete thousands of casks is in compliance with the principle: “Barrels are king” is particularly interesting. Because whiskeys matured in wooden casks over a long period of time will be one of the factors that determine a whiskey’s flavor and success. This view has been asserted by master blender Paterson: “Using the right barrel will rejuvenate whiskey.”
The 1964 Dalmore Constellation was distilled on April 29,1964, matured in cask no. 09 American white oak for 43 years then cask no. 693 2008 Matusalem Oloroso sherry butt for 3 years before being bottled in 2012.
